I'm considering having this professionally done, but would like to tackle it myself depending on a couple things. Let me first begin by what I'm trying to achieve:
For starters, I want to add this accessory panel to my driver side console:

The first accessory I want to attach to this panel is this spotlight, which comes with a Standard Perko socket to wire up. The spec says this light draws 5.5 amps. I believe I want to put the light on the front of the boat, behind the navigation lights:

The second accessory I want to add, connected the switch panel I mentioned above is another 12v accessory plug, on the passenger side console near the audio unit. This should be pretty easy, but my biggest concern right now for all the items I mentioned above is "how to run the wire". I want to do a "professional job", no shortcuts.
On to the audio system. I've eventually going to change on the head unit, but I understand how to do that completely. I want to add two speakers on the front of the boat, similiar to how the GT 225 Glastron is built:

Is this possible? I don't want to cut out holes and not have enough room.
I eventually want to add a wake board tower. Should I wait and put some speakers on the tower? Probably a better idea now that I'm typing this.
Okay, like I said before, I'm concerned about running the wire, selecting the correct gauge, having the right protection, etc. Has anyone tackled such on animal on this particular boat? Can you offer advice and your opinions on achieving the above? Thanks in advance!
